About GameSetWatch

GameSetWatch.com is the alt.video game weblog and sister site of Gamasutra.com. It is dedicated to collecting curious links and media for offbeat and oft-ignored games from consoles old and new, as well as from the digital download, iOS, and indie spaces.

Bit.Trip series developer Gaijin Games released a collection of songs from its first rhythm-based WiiWare game Bit.Trip Beat, a soundscape the studio describes as marking "the beginning of CommanderVideo’s aural journey from the ethereal to the corporeal."

Though half of the chiptune-inspired songs in the ten-track album are shorter than 40 seconds, the release does include the game's two tunes from noted micromusician Bit Shifter. Each of the Bit.Trip games feature a guest artist -- Core includes songs from Bubblyfish, while the upcoming Void promises tracks from Nullsleep.

The entire album is currently available to purchase and download from CDBaby, but Gaijin Games plans to have the Bit.Trip Beat soundtrack for sale through Amazon, iTunes, eMusic, and other services on October 27th.
